Not trying to start a flame or anything, but what's wrong with a few non-transcription questions here and there? It helps break up the monotony of the job, don't ya think?

I don't, but my puppy does. Not for me, sm
but I think they look nice if not taken to extremes. Just be sure the "artist" is legitimate.
Puppy update from below - sm
Thanks everyone for your advice and support.
I was a little surprise this morning when the neighbor guy knocked on my door. I was expecting to be read the riot act or something but got just the opposite.
Turns out that the guy is the girls father but the woman who I assumed was her mother is actually the aunt (father's sister). His wife died in a car accident 3 months before they moved here. The girl was in the car with her mother and younger brother. Dad was out of town on business and it took them almost two full days to find him because the girl was in shock and refused to speak for almost a month after. Both her mother and her baby brother (3 years old) died in the accident. The aunt is living there to help him with the daughter he said the girl has had severe psychological problems since the accident.
He was very apologetic for going off the deep end yesterday and that he normally is a rational man. I really felt bad for the guy.
He also told me that he appreciated us letting his daughter come over and play before but would understand if she was not welcome back. Said that his daughter completely withdrew from her friends at her old school and she is still in grief counseling twice a week. Playing with my kids was the first time since the accident that she had made any effort at socializing.
I never would have suspected that she had been traumatized this way. She was quiet and didn't say much about her family but gave no indication that this had happened.
The guy was here long enough to basically pour out his life history and I truly felt sorry for him and even more for his daughter.
I'm still going to be very watchful for now but there's room for a second chance after him having made the effort to clear the air and explain things. I think I will just sit on this for a few days and then invite the three of them over for dinner in a few days and try to start over.
I may be a sucker I know. I would rather have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and if we can do this, well, it would be better for everyone.
How was your puppy and your trip?
Been wondering. Hope everything went well.
I had a daschund that did when she was a puppy,
until her tail got caught in my foot pedal and it took me a while to get out.
Problems with puppy
My dog Snoopy is scared of my father. We ahve had her for almost two years now and whenever my father comes into the room, she cowers and runs into my room. She stays in here all day long while my sister and I are at school, and my mother is at work. But the wierd thing is, that at night, she is his best friend. She doesn't show any signs of nervousness or anything. Any suggestions? Does she have some sort of a mental problem?
My gosh. You and puppy are VERY lucky.
Definitely keep that kid out of your yard now. Good luck!
So glad you had the video going or they would have taken your puppy. sm
Moral of the story: Don't let your puppy play with kids unsupervised. Look into puppy class/puppy kindergarten in your area. Vet's office should be able to tell you where they are. They are fantastic for socializing puppies with other dogs, kids, and adults. Just completed class with my puppy. Sad to think how many good pups have been put down due to behavior of naughty kids/adults too. So happy this worked out for you and your kids.
Only use Purina - my puppy loves it! nm

or by your conception, you could feed your son to your puppy.

Revising that puppy tonight!
That is what I thought that I might do, I just needed a nudge. Thank you!
I am determined not to give this career up! I just might have to give up the company I work for. (big loss since I haven't had any work and they are dodging my calls, e-mails, IM's, etc)
Thanks again for the pep talk and the feedback. I needed that. -M
Please keep the puppy away from that little girl. I don't like the sound of it. Good for you sm
with the camera. Keep that video for a long time! People's memories have a way of fading.
Shelties are the sweetest, gentlest dogs, but their instinct is to nip feet in an attempt to herd. Have fun with your new sweetie!
Good luck, but if it was me, I'd keep the puppy away from the little girl sm
when she comes to dinner.
April, my 5-1/2 month old bichipoo puppy.

To Dog's Day Puppy MT - please read my post below! Creepy flowers.
I didn't want it to get buried in the old thread below, because I'm really worried about you. It must have just been me, but when I read that you found the flowers on your steps, and from your own garden, it just gave me the creeps. Don't know why, but it sure did. She (someone?) been's sneaking around your yard, and though it looks like a good intention, I still find it unnerving. PLEASE be careful! I'm not the paranoid type, but something just doesn't sit right with me about those flowers...
I'll be watching Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!

Think you need to refer this to your QA,
they are 2 words where I work.
It has nothing to do with having a spine as you refer to it..
As long as the place I work helps me pay my bills, raise my children, and treats me fairly, it doesn't matter to me. You are never going to get the entire transcription community to do that. If we were all alike and had the same opinion life would be very dull and we would all be like drones. If you CHOOSE not to work for companies that outsource, that is fine with me, as that is YOUR CHOICE. However, I am happy where I am and it gives me what I need in life. I hope that you can be a bigger person and respect other peoples choices in life. They need not all be like yours. 
What are these "loopholes" you refer to?
My DH has been in administration healthcare for over 20 years (national health care company). He says there is no "loopholes" that keep him from following the wage and hour laws, overtime is overtime, PERIOD!! Their MTs get paid overtime just like everyone else, and have no FORCED mandatory overtime.
You need to contact the wage and hour division PRONTO...something is stinky here!!!
so it's okay to refer to doctor as like a pig!!
but i suggest we might be more professional and MY post is deleted!!?? Good grief. What gives?
Yes, I agree here. You want them to refer you
You want to keep them happy within reason. I doubt it would be that much of a bother. You can write off the expense of the stickies and the travel.
The other worry I have is setting up digital for an office just because I don't want to travel and have them go with another MT because they could get cheaper rates by already being digital. You don't want that to happen.
Can you tell I'm a firm believer in tape work and loyalty?
No matter what, there are things in this profession that you do that are sort of thankless, but I think in the long run if you like the account, you're better off just cutting the stickies and attaching just a small fee each month as Patti says.
Is there a manager for QA you could refer all these

Here's a nice one I refer to
This one has a good collection of ops. See link below.
Here's another useful site I refer to
This one's come to my rescue quite a number of times.

We have a gal in our office who I refer to as the 'notetaker'. She's always got some e-mai
that lists this or that infraction. No one is immune. She just isn't happy unless everyone is unhappy and I think the complaints are really just a way to elevate her own status in her own mind.
Not everyone is like our "notetaker", but I've learned when it comes to work, do your best, meet your quotas and if you can have a little fun while doing it, then life is good. Pick your battles, don't sweat the little stuff, and you'll have a whole lot less stress to deal with.

You should refer them to the testing site.
That's what I do when someone says they *would like to work at home, like you.* I had someone tell me, quote, *You just type what the doctor says, right?* I just looked at her and said, *Yeah, you're right. I just type what the doctor says.* ARRRGGGHHHH!
I refer them to the job boards so they can see how much experience they need. sm
That is it. I don't deal with it anymore. I usually just write down the website and go take a look. You will see how much experience, etc. you need. Good luck.
I have learned from past experience.
Never hear anything again from that same person.
Refer to the Spouse Equity Act
You are entitled to coverage for 18 months...some of these responses just floor me!
You refer to ME as smug when you call sm
yourself "your fine self?" That's rich.
I'm so done with this. I'm amazed you have a job.
A lot of physicians refer to their patients
as heterosexual or having same sex partners, it is very relevant in some aspects, as in exposure to AIDS/HIV, etc.
I still refer to myself as a 'transcriber' because I hate
I don't think any of us even CARE what the real name of that buncha shysters is.
Try to refer to ref sites and books
Sites like these help.
Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
It's not a fad. You need her doc to refer you to a therapist for her. Took my teen years to get
s
I read the posts. Most of my references refer to

I don't have time to refer to reference the law details but (sm)
Check out:

You'd be surprised!
An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Without having Word open to refer to, I'll see if I can help...sm
When you click on autotext to open it, it should be where you can type in a new entry. Type in the entry you want to delete, and when it is highlighted I think an option should show to delete. I hope this is right, but like I said, I don't have Word open and I may have missed a step. Hope this gets you started in the right direction anyway.
That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
We don't have to SAVE lists of mistakes to refer back to. They are readily available at any given
Believe it or not, that's the kind of stuff we see all day long on a daily basis. Your resentment for QA is shining through. Perhaps you recognize some of these errors....
Template lines usually refer to pretyped canned reports
These would include such templates like epidural steroid injections and such where you are just typing in patient demographics and the date of procedure, cataract surgeries, or whatever canned dictation the physicians have come up with so they can cut costs and not dictate. Make sure you are not always having to revise the templates constantly at no cost; otherwise, that is a good price.
Dinner
Stouffer's frozen - chicken enchaladas with rice. It is sooo good and tastes homemade!
73 and nothing for dinner!
Everyone is gone! I've had a chicken sandwich and I'm getting my weekend work done so I can have some time off when everyone is home. 
What is everyone else having for dinner?
It is unseasonably cool here this week and I have been thinking about a pot of chili.
We don't go out to dinner at all.
We'll order pizza, grab takeout or go out to lunch maybe three or four times per month.
What's for dinner??
Chili, salad, cornbread.
Out to dinner
On the money I make doing MT, I'm lucky if I can pay all my bills much less go out to eat. I was better off 20 years ago when I actually had enough money left over to be able to do so.
What's for dinner??
Boxed white cheddar mac and cheese, big salad, garlic bread. Not very exciting.
What is for dinner
Is that all you think about is food?
What's for Dinner?
?
No dinner
I'm lucky my DH works nights.. only breakfasts in my house!
dinner
Pot roast with carrots and potatoes. YUMMY!!
dinner
chicken -n- pastry, speckled butterbeans, corn, and biscuits or corn bread, haven't decided which yet
